Jerry Kilgore

Jerry Walter Kilgore, (born August 23, 1961), a Republican, is a former Attorney General of Virginia. He was born August 23, 1961 in Kingsport, Tennessee. Kilgore earned his bachelor's degree from Clinch Valley College (now known as the University of Virginia's College at Wise) and his law degree from the College of William and Mary in 1986. He has a twin brother, Terry Kilgore, who is currently a member of the Virginia House of Delegates. He was defeated by Lieutenant Governor Tim Kaine in the 2005 race for Governor of Virginia.

Career

During 1987 and 1988, he served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia. Kilgore was Secretary of Public Safety under Governor George F. Allen from 1994 to 1998. He was elected Attorney General of Virginia in 2001 by a wide margin after succesfully painting his African American opponent, Democrat Donald A. McEachin, as weak on gun control. Jerry W. Kilgore easily won his primary challenge against Warrenton Mayor George Fitch to become the 2005 Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia. He ran against Lt. Governor Tim Kaine, the Democratic nominee, and state Sen. Russ Potts, a pro-choice Republican running as an independent candidate. Kilgore refused to debate Potts throughout the campaign, at times leaving Kaine and Potts to debate only each other in his absence. Early in the race, Kilgore showed solid 10+ leads in the polls, but Kaine steadily closed the gap and ultimately defeated by Kilgore 52% to 46%. Kilgore is known for his socially conservative views, especially on issues such as gun control, religion, and supporting the Pro-Life movement. Kilgore is also critical of Governor Mark Warner's fiscal policy, particularly the cigarette tax that rose from 2 cents to 30 cents.

Criticism

Kilgore's 2005 campaign was at times criticized for first taking steps to avoid debates, and then agreeing to just one statewide debate, only with Kaine, and only if the footage could not be aired in campaign commercials. Additionally, he has been criticized for airing ads related to a purported "gas tax" proposal by Tim Kaine that never actually happened according to The Virginian-Pilot. He criticized for invoking the name of Adolf Hitler in a campaign ad about his opponent, and for failing to agree to limit negative ads to 50% of his campaign's advertising as Kaine did at their only debate. In defending himself, Kilgore has said "I'm not going to let a moderator determine my political strategy... we will make sure all the ads are truthful." Kilgore was also attacked by his own party for refusing during a debate to answer whether or not he would make abortion a crime. This apparent public moderation of his previously open and hard-line stance on abortion troubled many of his conservative supporters. In trying to explain how a solid Republican could lose a traditionally Republican state by such a large margin, commentators have cited numerous key factors. Commonly cited positives for Kaine's effort included: 1) Kaine's association with the state's extremely popular Democratic Governor Mark Warner and defense of Warner's 2004 budget priorities, 2) Kaine's "response ads" which featured him personally speaking to voters about his religious convictions, and 3) Kaine's relentless in-person campaigning across the state. Commonly cited problems with Kilgore's campaign included: 4) a backlash over several highly-personal death penalty ads that Kilgore's campaign ran in the fall, 5) the relatively low poll numbers of current President George W. Bush at the time the election, and 6) a bitter division between the moderate and conservative wings of the Republican party over tax and spending priorities.
